re north south comp and volunteers with minibus

[gary stenhouse]

All,
I have come up with an idea to have a group of quality cross country pilots try to get the very best out of the UK's weather over a four day period this spring, by having a minibus with a driver take us wherever the weather is best. I have done some analysis of past XC league flights and on almost all days during the XC period, someone somewhere goes XC, so if we get the right people to the right site, then great things could happen.

I have a lot of interest from southern pilots but no-one from up north yet, but that's probably because no one has noticed the small article in last months skywings and also the reference in the XC mag. The luminaries from the South who have expressed an interest include Jim Mallinson, Craig Morgan, Kai Coleman and more, so it is lining up to be a top gun crew.

Please could you advertise this to your members - ask them to have a look at http://thexcbus.wordpress.com

The website gives a lot more information and the opportunity for pilots to express their interest or suggestions.

Many thanks
Daver Thomas
